Fresh Air

Fresh Air from WHYY, the Peabody Award-winning weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, is one of public radio's most popular programs. Hosted by Terry Gross, the show features intimate conversations with today's biggest luminaries.

Thomas Laqueur, author of 'The Work of the Dead,' discusses the ways people have dealt with human remains over the course of history. Also, 25 years after he initially created 'The Sandman,' graphic novelist Neil Gaiman returns to one of his most enduring characters, and discusses the power of comics.
